Problems solved by technology

However, this challenge is complicated by the fact that simultaneous improvement of creep and crack growth characteristics is difficult and can be affected by the presence or absence of certain alloy constituents and the levels of alloy constituents present in superalloys. Relatively small changes can significantly affect

Embodiment Construction

[0020] The present invention relates to gamma prime nickel-based superalloys, and particularly those gamma prime nickel-based superalloys suitable for use in components produced by hot working (eg, forging) operations to have a polycrystalline microstructure. figure 1 A specific example shown in is a high pressure turbine disk 10 for a gas turbine engine. The present invention will be discussed with reference to the machining of high-pressure turbine disks for gas turbine engines, although those skilled in the art will appreciate that the teachings and benefits of the present invention are also applicable to compressor disks and blisks for gas turbine engines, as well as those subjected to high temperatures. Many other components that are stressed and therefore require high temperature pressure holding capabilities.

Abstract

A gamma prime nickel-base superalloy and components formed therefrom that exhibit improved high-temperature dwell capabilities, including creep and hold time fatigue crack growth behavior. A particular example of a component is a powder metallurgy turbine disk of a gas turbine engine. The gamma-prime nickel-base superalloy contains, by weight: 16.0 to 30.0% cobalt; 9.5 to 12.5% chromium; 4.0 to 6.0% tantalum; 2.0 to 4.0% aluminum; 2.0 to 3.4% titanium; 3.0 to 6.0% tungsten; 1.0 to 4.0% molybdenum; 1.5 to 3.5% niobium; up to 1.0% hafnium; 0.02 to 0.20% carbon; 0.01 to 0.05% boron; 0.02 to 0.10% zirconium; the balance essentially nickel and impurities. The superalloy has a W+Nb-Cr value of at least-6, is free of observable amounts of sigma and eta phases, and exhibits a time to 0.2% creep at 1300 Fahrenheit and 100 ksi of at least 1000 hours.

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This is a continuation-in-part of co-pending US Patent Application Serial No. 12 / 474580, filed May 29, 2009 and published as US Patent Application Publication No. 2010 / 0303665 to Bain et al. The content of this prior application is incorporated herein by reference. Background of the invention [0003] The present invention relates generally to nickel-based alloy compositions, and more particularly to nickel-based superalloys suitable for use in components requiring polycrystalline microstructures and high temperature residence time (pressure holding) capabilities, such as turbine disks for gas turbine engines. alloy. [0004] The turbine section of a gas turbine engine is located downstream of the combustor section and includes a rotating shaft and one or more turbine stages, each turbine stage having a turbine disk (rotor) mounted or otherwise driven by the shaft and The periphery of the radially extending turbine vane.
